Coley's or Kuster's last stand?

FIU plays Rice today at 2:30 in the first round of the Conference USA women's basketball tournament in El Paso in what could be the last game for senior guard Jerica Coley, only eight points from becoming the NCAA's 10th 3,000-point woman.

Coley was on the verge of another milestone, the FIU career scoring record, the last time these two teams played and got it with 15:18 left in the game. Rice blasted FIU 59-41 at The Branch with senior Jessica Kuster (yes, I know it's spelled differently than the infamous general) putting up 20 points and 15 rebounds. What really killed FIU was getting 31 offensive rebounds and only five second chance points as the Panthers made executing the layup look more difficult than running a supercollider.

Rice double-teamed Coley all game whenever she got the ball within spitting distance of the three-point line. Should the Owls do that again, FIU could make things interesting by actually taking advantage of their man advantage on the rest of the court. The non-Coley Panthers shot nine of 49 from the field in that first game.
